Nihon Kai
“This one has spicy mayo underneath the scallop "gunkan" style, and the scallop is so fresh, plump, sweet and melts in your mouth!”
“I've been to Mr. Lee's new restaurant (Hachi in Fort Lee) a few times and honestly, I think Nihon Kai's cooked food is better.”
“My FAVORITE is the Angry Dragon roll.”

Quite good Japanese cuisine that actually has delivery! Online ordering! NJ restaurant moving into this century! The service is painfully slow though, and that extends to delivery.
Sushi is solid (not the best, but above decent). The hibachi specials are great – they give you a ton of food including your entree option, which is mixed with onions, zucchini and mushrooms, a side salad, and delicious hibachi rice, as well as a small miso soup on the side. I've never loved the steak or shrimp or scallops that come as the entree (just okay), but the other parts are worth it. Udon noodles are also worth ordering – large portion with lots of noodles and veggies, and some of whatever you order. Steak is my favorite as it adds lots of flavor to the dish, but the fiancé prefers the shrimp.
Absolutely worth checking out, particularly if you're looking for delivery (such limited options in the area)… just prepare to be really patient!
I ate here on a whim and it was decently good!
I came not expecting anything but I would go back, mainly because I liked their rolls. My favorite was the Manhattan roll which had great flavors. The sushi was also fresh. My only disappointment, in terms of food, was the sushi rolls weren't rolled tight enough so when I picked them up they fell apart. I basically had to eat my rolls like a chirashi. Otherwise, I really did love the freshness and the flavor a lot. I ordered another roll too that was also fresh but wasn't as memorable in terms of flavor.
Service wise, it was ok. I came at a slow period where no one was there. I opted to sit at the bar. The chef was good about getting my order and serving me quickly but getting my drinks from a wait staff member seemed to take longer. Also, everyone seemed to be watching videos on their phone or texting which didn't make such a great impression. I'll have to come again and sit at a table to see how the service differs.
The ambiance is small and cramp. Nothing to write home about. The real reason to come here is to try their fresh sushi, which is hard to come by in the New Milford/Bergenfield area. I wouldn't come very out of my way to come here though.
Great sushi a little pricey but, you pay for what you get ingredients are very fresh their spicy mayo is awesome. You can get any of your rolls made with brown rice instead of white if you are looking for an even healthier option. Take out is quick call a head and you almost never have to wait by the time you get there. The atmosphere is nice comfortable seating. You get what you pay for and then some.
I love online ordering! This place always gets my order right (along with the extras its supposed to come with – many places sometimes forget the miso soup or salad).
The prices are pretty standard for the sushi. The sushi has always been pretty decent.
It always arrives in a timely manner (well before the 1 hour window) and they never seem to get lost in my confusing apartment complex and come up to the door instead of making me go downstairs.
Love this place!
Can't beat the lunch deal – $13 for nine big pieces of sashimi (tuna, salmon, and yellow tail) plus a soup and salad. The salad was just lettuce and ginger dressing (a little sad looking) but the portions and quality of fish hit the spot. We dined in and it was empty which is good because it's pretty small. I will be ordering delivery from here next time I am on Main Street and craving sushi for lunch.
Nihon Kai is MY FAVORITE sushi place around. I order here very frequently and have never had a complaint. I get all of their rolls with brown rice and it's always delicious. Also you have to ask for their spicy mayo, it's the BEST. I highly recommend!
